Food For Thought Deli

Stopped here for lunch today as I was in the mood for soup. Definitely not disappointed. However, they only had their staples as far as soups today, which is chicken noodle, matzo ball, and mush mush. As well as chili. Had a traditional Reuben, which was very good. Chicken noodle soup was also excellent. I would definitely recommend trying this place out. Follow for more...

Hands down the best deli in Pittsburgh. Fresh ingredients and my order is always correct (and I have eaten here MANY times). Some may think it is pricey for a sandwich, but they use Boars Head meats & cheeses, Breadworks bread, and the sandwiches include a pickle and a bag of chips. I think the price is more than justifiable.

A wonderful deli owned by Bobby Wasserman. Excellent food, friendly service at a fair price. Everything is delicious. I visit often.

A bit pricey but with good reason. The food is phenomenal and the employees are very kind. A must-try for any Pittsburgher

Delicious Deli Sandwich spot. Parallel parking across the street from Oakland Catholic was entirely worth it 🤣✌Pictured here is the Cajun Turkey on wheat, lettuce, mayo, and delicious boar's head jalapeno pepper jack cheese ☄

Can I give 6 stars? The best sandwich we've had since moving to Pittsburgh from NJ!

Absolutely Incredible. I've been going to this place for a couple of years now because of the delicious food and the amazing staff. Today is the 11th anniversary of my brother's death and it left me sick to my stomach. I decided I needed my comfort food (mish mash soup & a ginger ale). When I went to check out, the owner rang me up and my card declined twice, I asked to take off the ginger ale and the total was still more than what I had in cash. The owner told me not to worry about it, he knew I was a regular and would be good for my money the next time I was in. This incredible act of kindness has me crying as I leave this review. These people have incredibly sweet and genuine souls and I will continue to come here and bring my family and friends for as long as I can.

My wife and I came into the Burgh for a family celebration. I was charged with the catering detail. Why not put an out of state family member from New York in charge of the most important detail. So many establishments to choose from. We we hit the nail on the Boarshead in selecting “Food for Thought”. We had a deli/sandwich/salad spread for 30. We were supplied with everything we needed to unload and dig in. Bob understood our needs and delivered. Not to the house per se, although I believe they would have! We arrived ahead of schedule and willingly scarfed a couple of breakfast Sammy’s to boot. I would highly recommend Food for Thought for your “deli style” catering event or catch a bite on premises. The place is clean, busy and the friendly staff is welcoming & anxious to help! I do love that when it comes to my eateries.

My partner had chicken salad on Breadworks Italian bread. He loved it. I enjoyed mishmash chicken soup. It was delicious. Friendly service, good food and reasonable prices. Next time he'll try roast beef and I'll do pastrami.

A great great deli experience in Pittsburg. Great food, great selection for a quick or on the go eatery. Well worth it.

Food is so good !!!!! Great service! Very friendly team!!

Best reuben sandwich I've had. However, their merchant category for credit card machine doesn't fall under 'dining'. Just a heads up if you're expecting cashback or points.

So delicious. I don’t really eat at delis much but I thought I would give this a try. I got a hot Italian hoagie and it has to be one of the best (if not the best) I’ve ever eaten. Also the owner was super nice and the atmosphere was overall very homey. Will definitely be eating here many more times!

One of the best Reuben sandwiches I've ever had. My partner had the grilled chicken sandwich - also delicious. The owner was in, super friendly atmosphere.

THAT SANDWICH WAS THE BOMB! HERE I WAS THINKING I WAS GOING TO GET THIS GIANT SANDWICH THAT HAD 6 TO 7 SLICES OF DIFFERENT LUNCH MEAT ON IT. THAT I WOULD BE ONLY ABLE TO EAT 1/2 OF IT, BECAUSE I WOULD BE LOADED. INSTEAD I GOT A SANDWICH THAT WAS THE SIZE OF MY 1 ✋ AND IT WAS THE BOMB! IT HAD! 6 DIFFERENT FRESH SLICE'S OF DELI LUNCH MEAT STARTING WITH BRISKET, TO ROAST BEEF CHICKEN AND THAT WAS THE 1ST 3 EATS. 3 MORE FLAVORS JOINED THE FIRST 3. TOP WITH FRESHLY MADE COLE SLAW ON LIGHT BROWN BREAD. WHEN I GOT HOME I TOP ALL THAT OFF WITH RANCH DRESSING. THE SANDWICH WAS FALLOWED UP WITH A FRESH BAG OF CHIPS AND THAT WAS TOP OFF WITH A FRESH SLICE OF ICED LEMON. POUND CAKE! HONESTLY IM READY TO REPEAT THAT AGAIN TODAY! THAT MY FRIENDS WAS A,A+++++++++++

This is a "Real Deli" the staff is the best, always treated with respect. Boars Head if u don't know is King of Delhi meets & add their homemade sides, potato salad, is addictive.
Go Enjoy a great Sandwich till 4pm
Enough said.

Wonderful little family deli. Delicious made to order sandwiches. The triple decker selections are stuffed full. Friendly staff and everything is worth the wait. Breakfast on the weekends!

Stopped by Food for Thought today. Had never been there before. Was greeted by Bob the owner and Ronna who made me the best corned beef on rye sandwich that I have ever had! Found out they do catering too. I will definitely be back because they have tons of other stuff on the menu. And the next time I have a party I am getting them to cater. Great Food. Great People.

The owner and the food make the experience the best. The food is so fresh and perfect for our meetings. We love you at Allegheny Family Network!!!!!

Best Rachel sandwich I’ve ever had. Fast and friendly service
